Method of manufacturing liquid crystal panel, glass substrate for liquid crystal panel, and liquid crystal panel including the same

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal panel includes the steps of simultaneously forming a gate electrode of a TFT and a lower layer of a marking pad, simultaneously forming a gate insulating film of the TFT and a protective insulating film covering the lower layer, performing various film deposition processes and patterning processes while the lower layer is covered with the protective insulating film, exposing a main surface of the lower layer except for its periphery by removing at least a part of the protective insulating film, simultaneously forming a pixel electrode and an upper layer of the marking pad covering the main surface of the lower layer in a portion not covered with the protective insulating film, and providing marking by providing a through hole by irradiating the marking pad with laser beams.
